The Miraculous Medal Home

Our partners in Panama, the Franciscan Network on Migration, named it Hogar Medalla Milagrosa--Miraculous Medal Home.And for the hundreds of migrant women, men and children who spend time there, it really is a "place of miracles."

Medalla Milagrosa is a way station for migrants who have survived the treacherous journey through the Darien Gap, the infamous jungle route between Colombia and Panama. Some have seen terrible things along the route that have left them emotionally shattered. Some have had terrible things done to them.

Medalla Milagrosa is a refuge for migrants emerging from the Darien. Dedicated shelter staff attend to the migrants' (many of whom are women and children) physical needs: health care, food, clothing, etc. They also offer psychological support and counseling. Assistance with the immigration process is available as well. Equally important, they offer hope.

Quixote Center's first response was to give the shelter emergency funds for what was needed most at the time, to purchase basic hygiene supplies--soap, shampoo, etc. Today, our goal is to provide Milagrosa with more robust support, including securing a new permanent location. As the shelter serves increasing numbers of migrants, our funds provide for the administration of the shelter: internet, phones, office equipment, and staff compensation. Our support also provides an emergency fund to cover things like funeral expenses.

We have a grant that covers $10,000 of the $20,000 needed for annual support. We are asking you, our supporters, if you can help to contribute the other half.

Thank you for all you do.
